TY - JOUR A1 - Schmidt, Bernd A1 - Staude, Lucia A1 - Kelling, Alexandra A1 - Schilde, Uwe T1 - A Cross-Metathesis-Conjugate addition route to enantiopure gamma-Butyrolactams and gamma-Lactones from a C-2-Symmetric Precursor JF - European journal of organic chemistry N2 - A protected derivative of (3R, 4R)-hexa-1,5-diene-3,4-diol, a conveniently accessible C-2-symmetric building block, undergoes single or double cross metathesis with methyl acryl-ate. The cross metathesis products are amenable to stereoselective conjugate addition reactions and can be converted into either gamma-butyrolactones or gamma-lactams.

Trapping of the resulting anions with electrophiles, for example, chlorophosphates, give furans. Subsequent DielsAlder reaction and acid-catalysed rearrangement of the resulting oxabicyclonorbornadienes give substituted benzenes.
